While ethical investing may mean different things to different people, don’t you agree that financial firms should draw the line at helping to support genocide? Help change the status quo on Wall Street. Together we can end investments in genocide.

Franklin Templeton

Many financial institutions invest in a handful of foreign oil companies, such as PetroChina, which help to fund the government of Sudan’s deadly campaign of violence against millions of its citizens. With over a billion-dollar stake, Franklin Templeton is one of PetroChina’s largest investors.

Genocide-free investing was on the ballot for the second year at Franklin Resources for the annual meeting on March 12, 2014. Due to regulatory technicalities we will not be on the ballot at Franklin Resources this year but will be working on alternative approaches to improve our shareholder proposal campaigns at Franklin Resources for the future.
